We understand. We’re not going to create a free tier, as hosting podcasts and music is complicated and costs us money too.

I would say it's strange, since I think we should be paid to host, and not the other way around.
Maybe there's some sort of fee on a per episode basis that could be implemented sometime in the future, so those that can't really pay for it could at least pay their share somewhat. It's y'all's move, though.
